Christmas at Lakeside: The Storm Whale
A great school outing with our Christmas theatre show
Bring your schoolchildren (ages 4-8 years) to this magical Christmas show, as we take you out to sea to meet a little whale…
School Performances: Storm WhaleEveryone involved was extremely helpful and accommodating throughout the booking process and the trip itself. The workshop was great and the children really enjoyed looking around the exhibition (which for a lot of them was a first). Lakeside were great at keeping me updated throughout the process so I had all the information I needed and put together a timetable that worked perfectly for us, which is often tricky as we are a large school. One of the children even said “This is the best day of my life!" Thanks so much for a great trip!"
